Update: Top YouTube Video Pulled From All-Time List

We reported earlier this week on a video that had just moved into the top spot on YouTube’s all-time most-viewed list. It is a fan’s edited video of Brazilian pop band Cansei de Ser Sexy. The video received more than 89 million views, largely over the last few months, causing some to question whether the figure reflected real views by individual users or a successful attempt to manipulate YouTube’s rankings.

Now the video has been pulled from YouTube’s all-time rankings, reinstating the “Evolution of Dance” as champion. The video is still available to those who search on its title, “CANSEI DE SER SEXY Music is My Hot Hot Sex,” but is not listed in the all-time rankings. YouTube says it is still investigating the traffic.
